I can’t be silent any longer. @KristiNoem and @realDonaldTrump have turned so-called public safety and immigration enforcement into a form of government sponsored violence against U.S. citizens, families, and ethnic groups.
New: In an interview days before his Dreamforce conference comes to town, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support Donald Trump sending National Guard troops to San Francisco. And he said Trump is doing “a great job.”

Poll this is from is here, and we also agree vigorously with his next post: we should turn down the factionalism and work together on stopping fascism. It's tough when we have such different narratives, but listening to voters is the only way through. https://t.co/6pjrgIdBrG
fwiw here's a poll of the people who voted for Biden in 2020 and stayed home in 2024 (ie a big reason we lost).

I have this vague memory of everyone in the Republican Party from Trump on down claiming that Project 2025 was a "Democratic Hoax."

Good morning and correct.
Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

It really is that simple. Elections have consequences.
Republicans have control of the House, Senate, and White House. If the government shuts down, it’s on them.

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.
Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland
